This tune is only known from the Campbell Canntaireachd. As usual the placing of cadences is not indicated and pipers can please themselves regarding this. Timing and pointing are not clearly shown either. The note to high G (bari in the manuscript) is written as a throw in the PS score. Bari usually represents a grip, but the two vocables bari and dari appear sometimes to be interchangeable in these manuscripts.

Judges Note 2013

This tune is from the Campbell Canntaireachd, although the grace notes are not always consistent with the canntaireachd vocables. This should not present a problem, however, as most will play the tune as recorded in PS 11.

The key to the ground lies in expressing the first bar, probably with a fairly soft cut down from the second C to low A. The fermatas shown in the score can be a bit misleading, as the low As and low Gs may be interpreted as linking notes. It should also be noted that the throws to high G are from low A, not low G. Thereafter, the tune is fairly straightforward.

The siubhal could be played either 'down' as shown or 'up', according to preference.
